Two consumer stocks saw significant reductions: NIKE INC CL B (Ticker: NKE) experienced a 92.35% decrease in holdings, and LAUDER ESTEE COS INC (Ticker: EL) also saw a large reduction, though this was offset by the significant purchase mentioned earlier.

Portfolio Health and Strategy

The portfolio remains robust with a total value of $163,498,137.80, composed of 74 holdings. The top five holdings by weight account for 35.85% of the portfolio, indicating a concentration in key sectors and stocks.

Cacti's strategy appears focused on quality growth stocks and ETFs, with Technology and Financial Services being the dominant sectors. The fund successfully added weight to several high-growth names like UBER, EL, GLW, GPC, and CRM, while reducing exposure in other areas like the Vanguard ETF and some consumer cyclical stocks.

The presence of both large buys and large sells suggests an active management style, constantly adjusting the portfolio to capture opportunities and mitigate risks. The fund's holdings in AMERICAN EXPRESS, GOLDMAN SACHS, and CHUBB show continued confidence in established financial services firms.
